GENERAL
Down the beach, about a mile north from The Entrance, is Blowhole. Named in the late '60s for its spitting, left-hand tubes, this is St. Augustine's most famous spot. It works on any swell, but on a south to east, it's usually a foot bigger here than anywhere in North Florida. It can have hollow lefts and long, up-the-beach rights. Obviously, this is where the pack swarms, so act accordingly. Colder winter weekday mornings are the least crowded.
